Art Central is putting together its workshop and demonstration schedule for the upcoming months. Would you be interested in being an instructor? You may opt to teach a demo, workshop, or both.

We advertise our demonstrations and workshops through Facebook, our blog and various online calendars. However, we have found that instructors who also use their own mailing and contact list usually have greater enrollment.

Demonstrations are free to the public--think of any demo of your chosen medium or technique. This can be a great way for you to advertise yourself as an instructor! Participants for demonstrations sign up through Art Central.

Workshops are “mini-classes.” The cost of a workshop is up to each instructor and instructors pay a fee of $5 per hour (minimum of 3 hours) to Art Central for the use of our space and tables and chairs are provided. For workshops, students will contact you directly for registration and payment. It is up to each instructor to establish a minimum or maximum number of students per class. Generally, depending on how much space each student requires, 10 – 12 students fills our space. We ask that at least some of the materials used in the workshop be available for sale at Art Central and we can stock the supplies for your students if you provide us with a materials list.
From past workshop and demo experiences, we have found that weekends seem to work best for students and instructors. Feel free, however, to schedule your workshop/demo any day of the week. We ask that you start the workshop no earlier than an hour after we open, and end it no later than an hour before we close. Store hours are Mon-Fri 10am-5:30pm, Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 12pm-4pm
Art Central has limited parking and we ask that instructors let students know that they will be asked to park along Monterey or another side street.
Workshops and demonstration dates are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please let us know as soon as you can what date(s) you would like.
In summary, we need the following from instructors as soon as possible:
-> A title and description of the demo/workshop in this format (including dates, fee, contact info). For example:
